Purpose
|
Reconnaisance-level surveying of submarine groundwater
discharge indicators in lower Potomac River Estuary and western
shore of Chesapeake Bay
|
|
|
Information to be Derived
|

Summary
|
4 September, Bratton drives gear down from Woods Hole and
Crusius flies down to scout area; 5 September, Worley, Foster, Erban
arrive in Solomons, set up gear on boat, troubleshoot; 6 September,
seismics/CRP/radon mapping from mouth of Patuxent River into Potomac
River and St. Mary s River to Dennis Pt. Marina (lines #1-6), set up
RAD7 and YSI for radon time series at marina, PM Cross arrives;
September 7, surveys with all systems up Maryland shore of Potomac
mainstem and zigzag back downstream (lines # 7-19); September 8,
surveys with all systems up Part of MD shore and mostly VA shore
with final crossing back north (lines # 20-26), transit back to
Solomons with 5 mid-channel (Potomac) radium samples and YSI
profiles, demobe gear from boat; September 9, Crusius and Bratton
back to Dennis Pt. Marina in AM to collect time-series gear and four
groundwater samples, others head to airport, later Crusius to
airport and Bratton drives pickup and trailer with gear back to
Woods Hole
